CORRESPONDENCE

TWe do not necessarily endorse tho opinions expressed by our correspondents.] To the Editor of the Waikato. Times. g IK . —I have just discovered that an omission has been made in the instructions for the culture of tobacco, as published in your paper of the 16th Novembor. It occurs about hallway down tho llrsfc ooluniii ot tho instructions, and is made in describing the mode of forming the hills in the paddock int ended forthe reception of the tobacco plants. It describes iu the printed instructions that the hills should be " from 3 to 4 inches high and 15 to 18 inches in diameter across its level top." Two misprints also occur in the second column. I refer in the first place to the part where I explained, the condition of the tobacco when ripe ; the word " wetting " occurs in print, it should be " wilting," and in the fiirst line of the last paragraph of tho second column tho word "wetted " appears.in print, it should be " wilted." I called upon a person at the Wairoa, yesterday, who is cultivating two acres of tobacco, and I found that through the omission in describing the forming, of the hills in the instructions, he had gone to considerable trouble and time in-forming sharp pointed pinnacle-looking hills, in which the growth of tho plants, if allowed to remain in that way, would bo retarded, through the uttor absenco of moisturo causcd bv the small quantity of soil around cach plant.
